My notes on things I make for myself and for the enjoyment of my family and friends

About

I am a homemaker in spirit. On my own site I want to showcase some of the (presentable) things I make. It often takes me a lot of time and patience to achieve the results that satisfy the perfectionist in me, and I would like to share those moments of accomplishment with you.

I would be very happy to encourage others to start a new hobby; such crafts as crocheting or tatting (frivolité) for example are in fact very simple once you let someone show you how! One aim for my blog has also arisen along the way: to document and write down the origin of some beautiful old family heirlooms.

The recipies are mainly for the benefit of my grown up children who frequently phone to ask how such and such is made 🙂

Here´s me, age four, crocheting! I have no recollection of this, so I was absolutely delighted to recieve some wonderful old pictures from our nanny, among them this proof of my early interest in needlework 😀
